Greetings from Chile

[Outback]

I've decided to join a fellow souther hemisphere community. Really surprised my nickname wasn't taken!
Anyhow, ba weep and all that. I am a born-again collector (in no small part due to the movies) but mostly because of Tomy's "Encore" line. As an 80's kid I had access to a cavalcade of classic bots, but could only afford a few.

I don't know what kind of fan I'd qualify as; I am fond of the G1 cartoon, I absolutely adored the Beast era, I thought the RiD line was nigh-perfect mix of oldies with new designs, didn't mind much about Armada or Energon but went totally nuts over Galaxy Force. My favorite continuity is the current IDW, specially More than meets the eye. Anway cheers and I'm really happy to be here.

Greetings and Welcome to OZformers!


Glad that you've decided to join us.

Some questions for your consideration!
Who is your favourite character & figure?, also which side do your prefer: Autobot or Decepticon/Maximal or Predacon?

[Outback]

Agh I knew those questions were inbound.

Favorite characters, plenty. Recently I'm a huge fan of Roberts' MTMTE Brainstorm. I also like laid back bots like Blaster, Smokescreen, Rhinox, Speedbreaker and Beachcomber. Also any aussiebot is A-OK so Outback and Cybertron Jetfire (or Dreadrock) get a pass.
My favorite 'cons are Blast Off, Buzzsaw, Dirge, Weirdwolf and Rampage. Preds I'd say I'm fond of Hellscream, Thrustor, Dirgegun, Max-B, Rampage too and Dinobot (who doesn't like him). Don't have one particular favorite maximal but if I had to pick one it'd be Big Convoy because of how ridiculously powerful he's supposed to be. Cohrada to because I was fascinated at how the toy transformed.

Like I said, I have too many favorites. Most of RiD/Car Robots, some moviebots like Dropkick and Incinerator; Energon Quickstrike, Animated Prowl, etc.....

It's interesting that Ani Prowl makes it on your list of favorites when he's anything but laid back (from what little I've seen of him thus far).

Quite right, but the figure is absolutely wonderful. Are you currently watching Animated? Be sure to check out Human Error, they are season 2 episodes.

Welcome!!!

Not currently, but I will as soon as I get it on DVD. I hated it at first because of the animation style and somewhat childish characterisations, but I've decided to watch it anyway because my favorite characters are in it (). I haven't even watched TFPrime yet (properly)... so yeah, I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Oh by the way, since you mentioned it, Cybertron/Galaxy Force was what introduced me to Transformers to begin with and when it was aired here I would watch it every Saturday morning with avid interest. I loved many of the characters, but I'll have to watch it again now because my fave character list has changed a lot since then. I always thought it was very well written, though.
